Cystic nodule acne is the worst kind. They are deep in the skin and as a result cannot be cured with topical acne creams. This type of acne cannot be popped like a whitehead or a blackhead. This is because the acne is so deep in the skin it does not have a head. If you try to pop a cystic nodule it will seep, bleed and most likely leave a scar. If you have cystic nodules and you pick them regularly your face will be covered in acne scars.
In order to get rid cystic nodules you are going to have to go to a dermatologist that has been certified to write Accutane prescriptions and administer cortisone shots. Almost all dermatologists give cortisone shots but a lot are not certified to give Accutane prescriptions. When you call your dermatologist ask the people at the front desk if the dermatologist prescribes Accutane and gives cortisone shots, if they say no move on to the next name in the phone book.
Cortisone shots are from the natural cortisone that is produced by the adrenal glands theses are located right above the kidneys. Cortisone will reduce swelling and promote healing of the cystic nodule. My cystic nodules often disappeared completely after I received an injection. If your cystic nodules are discolored, the color of a light bruise, they can take a day to clear up completely.
The best and most efficient way to get rid of bad acne forever is Accutane. Getting an Accutane prescription can be difficult. You have to have used at least two prescribed acne medications that were ineffective in treating your acne. Your acne still has to be perceived as severe after trying two prescribed acne medications. If this is the case than Accutane is an option for you. I have taken Accutane twice and I have almost perfect skin. The side effects of Accutane are harsh and they will be discussed in great length with your dermatologist before a prescription is written. Now you know how to get rid of pimples. Good Luck!
